100 Game Suspension: Detroit Tigers' Minor Leaguer And San Francisco Giants' Major Leaguer Given Harshest Penalty For Positive PED Test

Minor league pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, Cesar Carrillo, has been handed one of the most harshest suspensions in recent history--100 games, for violating baseball's minor league drug prevention and treatment program.

For those baseball fans who feel the sports' officials aren't actually serious about cracking down on the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs, this is the proof.

The team posted a release on its website Friday, saying the commissioner's office announced the suspension.

"Carrillo's suspension is effective at the start of the season. He is currently on the roster of Erie, which is Detroit's Double-A affiliate," reported csmonitor.com.

Csmonitor.com also reports that Carrillo's name was "included in a Miami New Times report earlier this year, when the alternative weekly newspaper said it had acquired records from a Florida clinic the paper said sold performance-enhancing drugs."

Names on the list, which include New York Yankee all-star, Alex Rodriguez are accused of receiving substances, like human growth hormone and steroids. "Several unidentified employees and clients confirmed to csmonitor.com that the clinic distributed the substances," the website said. The employees said "that clinic chief Anthony Bosch bragged of supplying drugs to professional athletes but they never saw the sports stars in the office," according to csmonitor.com.

It is clear that Major League Baseball's investigation into the Biogenesis (name of the company) case continues, but the Miami New Times outlines why it won't be handing over it's records to the MLB. "Sorry, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig. We won't hand over records that detail the inner workings of Biogenesis."

Carrillo joins San Francisco Giants' 38-year-old reliever Guillermo Mota, who on Monday, received a matching 100-game suspension for his second performance-enhancing drug violation, after testing positive for a substance called Clenbuterol.

In a statement issued Monday afternoon, the San Francisco Giants said: "The Giants are disappointed to learn of Mota's suspension. We support Major League Baseball's Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," according to nbcbayarea.com.
